Welcome to the ARMA Vault

Where the Past Meets the Future of Information Management

Step back in time and explore the foundations of information management with the ARMA Vault. This unique experience takes you on a journey through the defining eras of managing information, reliving the moments that shaped the profession as we look ahead to what’s next.

The Paper Era

Our story begins with the Paper Era, the starting point of modern information management. Rows of filing cabinets, carefully maintained paper records, and meticulous systems for organizing critical information defined this time. These early practices laid the groundwork for the principles and strategies that still influence information governance today.

While technology has revolutionized the field, the Paper Era reminds us of where we started and the incredible progress we’ve made. It’s a chance to reconnect with the roots of managing information and reflect on how far we’ve come—even as we prepare for the future.
